Submitted By: Mike McMullan on May 18, 2009 - 10:15pm
Valve has released the long awaited software development tools for Left 4 Dead. The tools are available via the tools tab in Steam.
The SDK tools allow modders to create their own levels or full campaigns. The SDK includes the Hammer level editor and a particle editor as well as example maps and particle systems.
Valve will be updating their matchmaking system to work with the new user created content. They have also created a Wiki for anybody interested in using the tools. The SDK is in open beta now and is only available for the PC version of Left 4 Dead. We can't wait to see what the modders are going to come with.
Black Mesa Mod Trailer Released

The Black Mesa mod team has released their first trailer for their upcoming total conversion of the Source engine. The mod is a fan driven "re-creation" of the original Half-Life game set to be released soon.
For all of us that were disappointed with Valve's Source release of the original Half-Life, this is going to be the game we all wished for. The game will feature all of the characters and environments we remember. The mod will feature both a single player campaign and multiplayer deathmatch mode, but most people are excited about the planned co-operative mode. The co-op mode will let players run through the corridors of Black Mesa together to finish up the single player campaign.
The original Half-Life celebrated its 10th birthday on November 19th. Now over 10 years later, fans of the original game are hoping this mod will help us relive all of those memorable moments that helped change the way first person shooters were played. This mod will also hopefully bring in new players that never got a chance to play this ground-breaking game.
The mod will require any Source engine game to play. Check out the trailer after the break.Read more...
